I didn't get nearly as much done, yesterday, as I'd planned.
Or at least, not all the elements of yesterday's checklist, anyway.

Level editing was such a simple plan, at the start, but with every little thing I tweak, the whole process gets more and more complicated!

Read More

I've currently got the engine running with a level grid of 40x25, but the game can cope with any number of ratios, as long as the level data still fits within the confines of 1024 bytes.

As I start work on the editor's GUI, something's suddenly struck me.

Planned to do coding, today. And, though I did do some coding, it wasn't anything to do with the Framework!

A few weeks ago, someone who obviously hadn't played Centipong enough to enjoy it, decided to complain away on the comments.

Shitterwing's complaint was as follows


Now, I don't mind complaints, but there's two things wrong with that complaint.
1. But... Centipong kicks ass!!!!
2. Pong vs Tetris? WTF is that!?

I spent most of yesterday working my way up to the Editor, but not quite reaching it yet.

The scoreboard admin page has been "broken" for a long while.

You might not have noticed, but in the 2018 Framework, the two main control schemes are ever so slightly different.

First step of adding Story Mode is to add something worth playing for.
There be birds to select!!

I spent most of yesterday struggling to put together a SoCoder Newsletter for this week, since I'd mostly neglected it due to watching all the E3 stuff.

Meanwhile the gamedev is pretty much in the same situation it was on Tuesday, so I really need to focus on that, today.

Last month, I subscribed to the ZenPop Ramen selection.
The box appears, then over the coming weeks, I review each of the noodles.
Last month's collection can be found in this SoCoder Thread, but I figured it might be something entertaining to crosspost here, too.

Do let me know if you hate this idea!!

Yeah, that's kinda fun!!

Leaping around, dropping bombs and blowing up boxes!
Fun..

Tonight I added enemies in, and .. Oh, boy, is it hard!!!

I think tomorrow will be all about balancing things out.

This week's game is currently alarmingly difficult.
With all the little bats floating around inside the cramped space, it can be extremely difficult to make simple moves without getting caught out.

I'm now happy that the bats are balanced well enough for the gameplay to be nice and playable.

Had a good play on both Desktop and 3DS and things seem to be running smoothly enough.
The graphics on 3DS are a bit smooshed, but .. They're passable. I think.. Maybe!

Todo : Needs a background graphic of sorts, and then logo, icons, etc..

Should be ready in the next day or two.
